I know people have gone on this before, however Parramatta might not win that many awards but they will win some unlike the last 3 years. BA is a certain for coach of the year, Hayne is edging closer and closer to a second Dally M and that's about it. Some may say Pauli or Ma'u for Rookie but Luke Brooks is the biggest lock to win Rookie of the Year. Semi may get leading try-scorer but hasn't been scoring as many as he did at the start of the year and could slip, but 13 tries from 13 games is still good. Other than that I can't really seeing us picking up another award
your thoughts?

I think he is overrated but he is loved, even if most of the freakish stuff he does is luck
Ivan Cleary might push BA
Sam Burgess will push Hayne
We have a good all round team, good all round teams dont win many individual awards. Its the teams with the standout players who do that.
I was thinking Cleary however BA's season is a lot more recognised by how bad Parramatta has been, as Penrith have been bad the last few seasons no where near as bad as Parramatta. Parramatta were tagged as the place not to go to, nobody wanted to come here, Neil Henry didn't want to coach us, preferring Assisting Gold Coast, Jason Taylor said no, and BA decided to take them and gone leaps and bounds in one season, this is Cleary's 3rd year and he has been building since that, BA has done that in a year.
Over Tupou, Tuivasa-Sheck, Mansour, Hiku, B.Morris and unfortunately even Richards
I don't think he'd get Winger of the year, liked to be proved wrong though
Dally M Winner: Jarryd Hayne.
Fullback of the Year: Jarryd Hayne.
Winger of the Year: Josh Mansour
Centre of the Year: Dean Whare/Dylan Walker
5/8 of the Year: Johnathan Thurston.
Halfback of the Year: Daly Cherry-Evans
Prop of the Year: Matt Scott.
Back-Rower of the Year: Wade Graham (gone for a smokie but this is a harder one to pick, given some are a bit out of form). Possibly Greg Bird also.
Lock of the Year: Sam Burgess.
Coach of the Year: Ivan Cleary/Brad Arthur.
Rookie of the Year: Luke Brooks.
Gillett could get Second-rower maybe
Back-Rower, Anthony Watmough? He's been unbelievable. Usually the top try-scorer of the year also wins the Dally M in their position. Should Radradra finish as top try-scorer he could well win winger of the year.
He might be considered. He's had some great games but some average ones as well. Then again, as have most back-rowers this year.
Watmough will be up there again, as he always is.
My only doubt over his getting the award will be if those niggling injuries return and he's forced to sit out games.
He's had them for a few years. Though if he plays most games, he'll certainly come into the equation and rightfully so.
